having taken a forced sabbatical fom the WBF (Was travelling a lot, country hopping, time was so short between the travel that I didn't have the time to listen to gear I wanted, De Vialet for example and am back to Haiti for a week then back to the US of A)...
Will open a thread on a wonderful gear I acquired before travelling : Headphones and an amp with tubes (yes) and a DAC that wouldnot break the bank but the performance of this combo was stupendous... more in a few mins ...

TOLD YOU SO!
Sorry, I had to shout ... That is how good SS have been for the 25 years ... The Krell is that kind of good and has been for a long while... The "dark" thing is not that true in my view.. No! they are not Spectral or Burmester or Edge pristine in the upper treble but overall they surpass many amps including some celebrated non SS amps in things that matter to music .. IMHO, IME, YMMV, etc and that is not too far from a fact
